Hello... Hope you are all having a lovely Saturday.. It is pouring rain here in our part of the world..
It is so beautiful and green out there, though and warm..
I am very thankful for our blessings...
Just thought I would post a LINK here for you girls.
It looks wonderful.. If you are my type (whatever that is ) then this is your type of motivation. Let's see... I love lists and ideas. I don't like to do something unless I do it right. Otherwise I will probably leave it.. You know the kind.. Messy house lots of times with a bunch of creative stuff going on...sigh..
The book has a spirtual outlook and has a Martha and Mary chore at the end of each chapter..
I think it will motivate me with it's simplicity...
I will share a little tale here with you... smile..
We had just moved into our first house in the country many years ago.. I was very homesick for the city and my old way of life.. We had lots of friends but for some reason I was lonesome...
I started selling something from door to door and happened to go to this particular house... The lady of the home welcomed me in.
When I went in she offered me a cup of tea and a piece of fresh homemade bread she had just made. Her two year old (now a chef) was playing with pots and pans on the floor... The ironing board was up and soup was simmering on the stove.. She was making a craft on the table and she had lovely cats and plants.. I felt so at home and knew I had found a kindred spirt...
It was a visit that has blessed my life. We still remain true friends to this day.
I guess I am just saying that we are not all wonderful housekeepers.. I am not talking about homemakers... Making a home and cleaning a house are two different things.. I tell myself whenever I get caught in a mess that it is ok... It's just my nature to be CREATIVE... smile...
The thing is that I long and strive to be more organized and have a cleaner home.. Soooooo.... this book has really inspired me..
I know that many girls have it all together... My daughter does it all.. I don't where she came from ...lol...(Neither does she... smile)
Anyway... I need all the help I can get ....
This certainly will not interest all of you but a few perhaps..
I have only scanned the book so will be trying to get more perspective on it over the weekend..
I thought I should share it with you all on this rainy Saturday morning... Is it sunny where are?
I hope to start this little regime for 31 days starting on Monday and will keep you posted..
Hope you are having a blessed weekend..
Our Scottish Heather (that is what my Mom calls it)
Love and Prayers..
Faye
Great post Faye :-) We call your Scottish Heather, soldiers and sailors :-) Weather is a bit grim. After all our days of no rain. Looks like it's going to pour :-) Garden could do with it anyway :-) How are the seeds ?Hope you haven't had to make them all a pair of water wings :-)

The book sounds very interesting. I hope you keep us updated as to how it works. I think I would like it too. Your heather is very pretty. We had lots of rain pass through last night with thunder and lightning, wind. Enjoy your day and God bless.
ReplyDeleteI think that my problem is that I spend too much time reading about things and making plans in my head that I never actually get very much accomplished... my be my creative mind- or laziness- LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck Faye, that book sounds very good, I will be interested to see how you go! God Bless you in your endeavours, Carly x
